Do you/would you carry a gun in .40?

This is a discussion on Do you/would you carry a gun in .40? within the Defensive Carry Guns forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; I'm a 9mm fan but am thinking of throwing a .40 into the mix. I figure I'll go with a Glock model of some kind, ...

If I had one I would. I think too many gets wrapped around the axle as to caliber. I've shot my son's G22 and it didn't seem much different than my G30 .45. Neither did his .357 SIG. So whatever caliber one chooses, the secret is . . . practice.

I switched from a .40 carry firearm to a 9mm. I can see some validity to the .40 caliber but unless I was working in some capacity where I could carry a couple of extra mags, I can't see any reason to switch back.

I am not a big fan of the .40 because I find it to be snappy. I would rather have the same gun in 9mm or have a different gun in .45. Having said that, the recent ammo shortage has made me want to add a .40, because at every store I went to they had .40 but no 9mm or .45. Ditto when I went to the LGS and all they had left were .40's, .38's, and 3 Glock 36's. Now I was all set for ammo and guns, but I was paying attention to how it all went down.

I carry a 40 and at times a 45. 40 only gives up maybe a round in high cap versions. bigger hole and snappy recoil doesnt bother me. Ammo is easier to find too vs 9mm now days.
All that said I prefer 357 but I dont have one right now though that is soon to be corrected.
